Ten must-read blogs

  1. Disabled families still aren't exempt from the bedroom tax
    The "discretionary fund" cited by Duncan Smith will cover just £2.71 of the £14-a-week loss in housing benefit facing disabled claimants.
    By George Eaton

  2. Huhne and Pryce went to jail despite their privilege, not because of it
    Chris Huhne and Vicki Pryce broke an important law and, after a fair trial, got rightly sent down for roughly the right amount of time. It's as simple as that. By Alex Andreou

  3. The left has no monopoly on political correctness. Just try being rude about Margaret Thatcher
    Right now, the list of things we're not allowed to say about the rich and powerful is getting longer - and not just for professional writers. By Lauire Penny

  4. Osborne's anti-green agenda is strangling growth
    The government's refusal to commit to a decarbonisation target is preventing the creation of tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs.
    By Michael Jacobs

  5. Snappy comebacks to stupid questions: the eternal undeath of the credit-card analogy
    How to respond when the prime minister says something simplistic and wrong. By Alex Hern

  6. Lez Miserable: "Ooh, look at that one - it's got veins!"
    Meet our new columnist, Eleanor Margolis, as she takes a frank, funny and cynical tour through life as a twentysomething lesbian. By Eleanor Margolis

  7. Why is Douglas Murray smearing me to distract from this damning UN report on Israel in Gaza?
    Owen Jones made the same error as the Telegraph, Mail, Haaretz, Guardian, Sun, Washington Post, Human Rights Watch and Spectator. If Douglas Murray wants that to be addressed, he also knows that Israel could be guilty of committing war crimes. So why the silence?
    By Owen Jones

  8. Heroines: From Zelda Fitzgerald to Jean Rhys
    An innovative "memoir" reassesses the place of women in modern literature. By Juliet Jacques

  9. Should feminists lay off Rihanna?
    The pop star gets criticised for her hypersexual persona - and for returning to the man who abused her. But before you attack her choices, work out what you'd do if someone you actually knew was making the same mistakes. By Sarah Ditum

  10. Too much austerity: the public sector begins hiring again after "over-firing"
    The loss of 370,000 public sector jobs since 2010 has left some departments struggling to provide basic services. By George Eaton
